ANDREW W. ARMSTRONG was born March 17, 1834. His parents were William and Hannah (Chamberlain) Armstrong, mention of whom is made in another place. Mr. Armstrong passed the usual happy days of a farmer's son, working on the farm in the summer season and attending school in winter. The educational advantages of that day, although not comparing favorably with those of to-day in some respects, yet were such as to fit the scholar for the hardy life of a pioneer settler. The lessons of self-denial and self-reliance taught in the old log school-houses with their chinks stopped with mud, their slab seats and stick chimneys, were lessons which eminently fitted the hardy young settler to cope with dangers and difficulties to which the boy of the present day is a stranger. Mr. Armstrong began life on a rented farm, but steadily advanced in his calling until now he is the happy proprietor of a large and splendidly improved farm consisting of 196 acres. He is considered as one of the leading farmers and citizens of the township of Elk Run, and by his life of probity and industry has gained the confidence and esteem of those with whom he comes in daily contact. Sept. 4, 1869, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary J. Turner Three children have been born to them as follows: William Albert, born Oct. 30, 1871; Kinsie Armstrong, born Aug. 17, 1881, and died Jan. 4, 1884; Edward Vale Armstrong, born Nov. 8, 1885. Mrs. Armstrong is the daughter of George and Nancy (Switzer) Turner, both of whom are descended from prominent pioneer families of Columbiana county. Mr. Armstrong was born in Virginia, Apr. 27, 1851.
